About the book

In the classic Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis, the most important writer of the 20th century, explores the common ground upon which all of those of Christian faith stand together.

Bohemia, NY — — The AMAC Book Club is pleased to announce its December Book of the Month: Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, one of the most influential works of Christian thought in the modern era. As the holiday season invites reflection, faith, and gratitude, this classic serves as a fitting companion for readers seeking deeper meaning amid the season’s celebrations.

First published in 1952, Mere Christianity grew out of a series of BBC radio broadcasts Lewis delivered during World War II — messages of hope and reasoned faith that resonated with millions. In this enduring work, Lewis presents a clear, logical exploration of the core beliefs that unite Christians, focusing on moral law, virtue, forgiveness, and spiritual transformation.

“C.S. Lewis reminds us that the heart of faith is not found in division, but in shared truth,” said Rebecca Weber, CEO of AMAC. “Mere Christianity offers a thoughtful, accessible guide to the foundations of belief — a message that feels especially meaningful during the Christmas season.”

Throughout December, AMAC Book Club members can explore Mere Christianity through discussion questions, focusing on themes of humility, redemption, and the call to live with purpose. The book’s timeless insights continue to inspire readers of all backgrounds to reflect on what truly matters — not just during the holidays, but throughout the year.

As 2026 approaches, the AMAC Book Club invites readers to slow down, gather with loved ones, and engage in meaningful conversation about faith, morality, and the hope that lies at the heart of the Christmas story.

He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.
